Robertshaw 41-407 Hot Surface Ignitor
The Robertshaw 41-407 Hot Surface Ignitor is a high-performance 120V AC heating component engineered for rapid thermal response and sustained electrical stability. Constructed from high-purity recrystallized silicon carbide, this 271 series ignitor is designed to reach optimized ignition temperatures within 17 seconds, ensuring reliable combustion in residential and commercial gas furnaces. It features 18-gauge nickel chrome lead wires—measuring 4.5 inches—that are metalized in place for superior holding strength and conductivity. The wires are protected by high-temperature fiberglass insulation rated for 200°C, preventing premature electrical failure in high-heat environments. This Norton-style flat ignitor is a direct replacement for various OEM models across Trane, Amana, and White-Rodgers systems. Designed for direct furnace ignition, the unit utilizes a Style C ceramic block and Type B terminal connectors, maintaining a resistance range of 40-75 Ohms for precise compatibility with existing furnace control modules.
Key Benefits- Fast Heat-Up Time: Achieves reliable ignition temperatures in under 17 seconds to minimize gas dwell times.
- High-Purity Silicon Carbide: Provides exceptional thermal strength and resistance to 120V AC electrical fluctuations.
- Robust Lead Connection: 18 AWG nickel chrome wires are embedded into the ceramic, preventing lead separation under thermal expansion.
- Broad Compatibility: Serves as a technical replacement for Robertshaw 41-407, 271, and multiple OEM part numbers from Trane and Amana.
- Durable Insulation: High-temperature fiberglass sleeving protects wiring from shorting against the furnace chassis.
- Is the Robertshaw 41-407 compatible with 240V systems? While some control modules take 240V input, this ignitor is specifically rated for 120V AC; the module must step down the voltage to ensure proper operation.
- Can I touch the ignitor element during installation? No. Oils from your skin can cause hot spots and premature failure of the silicon carbide furnace ignitor. Always handle it by the ceramic base.
- Does this include the necessary mounting block? Yes, it features a 2-inch wide Style C ceramic block with a standard Type B connector for straightforward field replacement.
